Mike Tyson urged to \u201cforget\u201d Jake Paul \u2018script\u2019 ahead of superfight NetflixMike Tyson has been urged to \u201cforget\u201d an apparent script for his fight with Jake Paul as the pair\u2019s superfight gets closer and closer by the day. Since Jake Paul has gotten involved with boxing, there have been plenty of claims that his fights have been rigged and had a script of guidelines to follow \u2013 as if it was something out of the Rocky franchise. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has fought back against those claims a few times, and has also been helped by pundits \u2013 and even his opponents. However, with his next fight being against Mike Tyson \u2013 where there is a 31-year age gap \u2013 and being broadcast on Netflix, those theories have started to rumble again. One such supporter of the scripted theory is Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia. Alalshikh has been the one organizing the big fights moving to Saudi from the United States and has previously met Tyson. \u201cPlease brother Mike, forget the script and beat this guy!,\u201d Alalshikh tweeted following the press conference for their clash. The Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority is already on record as not being the biggest fan of Jake\u2019s fights. He\u2019s shut down questions about influencer match-ups taking place on Saudi cards previously, telling DAZN: \u201cPlease, we don\u2019t want any YouTuber fights again.\u201d As for the upcoming Jake and \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike fight, well, the contest will take place using professional rules. There won\u2019t be any head guards or safer gloves used like had been claimed previously. Tyson is also changing his lifestyle ahead of the fight. He is no longer smoking marihuana and is on a diet of raw meat. Despite that, he did say he isn\u2019t feeling in great shape yet, but he\u2019s got plenty of time until they meet in July in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
